Title: Electrodialysis-distillation hybrid process for the recovery of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent from industrial effluent
Inventor: SUNDERGOPAL SRIDHAR
IPC: B01D3/14
Filed: 2010-10-29
Abstract: The invention relates to the removal of the impact-sensitive and hazardous sodium azide (NaN3) salt along with ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) for the recovery of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent present in a pharmaceutical industrial effluent generated during the manufacture of antiretroviral drugs. The wastewater cannot be directly distilled for DMSO recovery in the presence of NaN3, which could cause explosions. Moreover, disposal of the DMSO increases the chemical oxygen demand (COD) load on the effluent treatment plant (ETP). The developed process includes pretreatment of the effluent for the removal of colloidal impurities and suspended solids followed by electrodialysis using cation and anion-exchange membranes stacked alternately for reduction of the salts concentration to ppm levels. The desalted liquor is then subjected to two vacuum distillation steps for recovering pure DMSO solvent.

Title: All-to-all message exchange in parallel computing systems
Inventor: PRISACARI BOGDAN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2013-02-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of all-to-all message exchange between program tasks in a parallel processing system. The program tasks are connected by an interconnection network with a hierarchical network topology comprising N>1 hierarchy levels in, n = 1 to N, in which a first level l1 comprises a plurality of groups of the tasks and. each higher level l(n>1) comprises at least one group of level l(n-1) groups. A unique hierarchical identifier is defined for each task, the hierarchical identifier being dependent on the groups to which that task belongs in respective hierarchy levels of the network topology. In each of successive phases of the exchange, each task sends a message via the network to a respective destination task whose hierarchical identifier is determined, in dependence on the hierarchical identifier of the sending task and the network topology, such that the resulting exchange pattern for the all-to-all message exchange exploits hierarchical distance in the network topology in a desired manner.
